MMRDA invites tenders for Rs 20 bn rolling stock and carshed projects

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has announced the relocation of tenders for the metro line 6 (Swami Samarth Nagar in Andheri Lokhandwala to Vikhroli, Eastern Express Highway (EEH)) for the procurement of rolling stock, signalling & train control, telecommunications, carshed machinery, platform screen door, for the project.

It was revealed that the previous tender for the procurement of rolling stock and other technical systems had been cancelled due to MMRDA's failure to meet the mandatory guidelines instituted by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) in the tender document. There were also issues over the proposed Kanjurmarg depot land ownership.

It was previously proposed by the MMRDA to procure 108 standard gauge cars (coaches) for metro line 6.

The current tender is valued at Rs 20.64 billion. The work involves design, manufacturing, supply, testing, commissioning, and maintenance. Interested bidders are required to submit bids by April 2.

The elevated 15.31 km long Mumbai Metro Line 6 is reported to be over 60 per cent complete and is being constructed at a cost of Rs 67.16 billion, with funding through the National Development Bank (NDB). The expected timeline for completion is November or December 2024. The state approved the elevated metro line 6 in 2017.
